Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual: For Everyone from Beginner to Pro

Product Information

The Little Book of Skincare is, yes, primarily about skincare, and I know, this is a makeup post, but I just had to include this little gem of a book here. This is an absolutely gorgeous and one of the best makeup books out there, with easy-to-read captions and skimmable blocks of text. The Beauty of Color also includes tips on the ever-elusive techniques of color matching different skin tones, and skincare and makeup application tailored to various skin tones. I get the feeling this book is part of a larger educational series covering all aspects of film and television making. The Little Book of Skincare offers tips and advice for achieving glowing, radiant skin through a holistic approach to skincare.

I wanted to make sure anyone could pick up this book and learn how to wear makeup without feeling marginalized. This book is not just for makeup artists and educators, but really it would be interesting for any makeup enthusiast. It covers skincare basics and every aspect of makeup application – from how to find the right color and type of foundation to how to apply eye makeup perfectly to suit your eye color and shape.Despite being published back in 1997, sales have soared during the coronavirus lockdown, as people look to experiment with their make-up once again.

In it, Bobbi Brown compiles her 25-plus years of makeup styling experience into a complete (and gorgeous) bible. Special Makeup Effects is yet another stalwart in makeup years gone by, I felt compelled to mention as much from a sentimental point of view as a resourceful one.

The author has a chatty, conversational style, and it is almost like you’re having a coffee and a makeover with a friend.Makeup, Hair, and Costume for Film and Television provides an in-depth introduction to the world of makeup, hair, and costume in film and television. With each turn of the page, you’re not just reading a book – you’re immersing yourself in a journey of self-expression, beauty, and endless possibilities.
